The Great Food Timeline
The Food Timeline is a fascinating exercise in the history of eating. Using historical context, written references during human existence, (presumably) archaeological evidence, and information from all over the Web, site owner Lynne Oliver has assembled a giant list in chronological order of roughly when foods and other culinary items appeared in the human diet - from water, ice, salt, and fish before recorded history to deep fried Coca-Cola. (I won't spoil the surprise - check the site and then go to the link.)
